iSo(7. — A warm sheltered well-drain- 

 ed border, manured with leaf mould 

 abundantly, lor the out-door plants. 

 For those in pots, four parts light fresh 

 turfy loam, four parts leaf mould, and 

 one part rubbly charcoal. 



In Borders, the stools require to be 

 taken up and divided in early spring, 

 not more than three suckers being left 

 united, otherwise the flowers are nu- 

 merous and small. 



By i^uckers in' Pots. — Turn out the 

 old pots in March ; separate the suckers 

 by a gentle twist; plant tliree suckers 

 in a thirty-two pot; shade them and 

 shelter in a cold frame for about a fort- 

 night; then expose them to the sun- 

 shine ; shift into larger pots as they 

 increase in growth ; place them in a 

 gentle hot-bed in April, and keep them 

 under the frame until the middle of 

 May; when ten inches high, pinch off 

 the tops of each stem. They will throw 

 out shoots from each bud ; retain only 

 six shoots, removing all the others ; 

 plunge the pots in a sunny sheltered 

 border; vvater daily in dry weather, 

 and give liquid guano always once a 

 week, so soon as the flower buds ap- 

 pear. Let the pots they flower in be 

 sixteens, that is, nine inches in diame- 

 ter at the top. Move them into a very 

 airy green-house or conservatory, to 

 bloom. 



" The shifting of the plants in the 

 earlier part of the summer," says a 

 well-informed writer, " should be par- 

 ticularly attended to. If this is neglect- 

 ed, no good after-management will save 

 them from losing their leaves, and look- 

 ing badly in autumn and winter. As 

 soon as they are fairly starting into 

 growth, the top of each should be nip- 

 ped with the finger and thumb, which 

 will cause several shoots to spring from 

 the under part of the plant, and thus 

 form it into a compact bush. This may 

 be repeated two or three times with 

 advantage in the earlier part of the 

 season with the free flowering kinds ; 

 but after the plant is fairly formed it 

 should be discontinued, otherwise the 

 flowering will be injured." — Gard.

Cuttings. — The same authority says, 

 that " the proper time for striking cut- 

 tings depends upon the objects which 

 the propagator has in view. Nursery- 

 men who want a good stock of a par- 

 ticular kind may propagate it at almost
